Narrative

As a lightning storm passed over the mine a bolt of lightning struck our incoming power. Power was lost. It was found that a bank of transformers had been struck and one was burning. The fire was extinguished but rekindled later. At that time both Hot Lines (MSHA and State) were notified .While talking with MSHA I was notified that the fire had been extinguished.
